Recovery

Day 16 -Rehydration Day
Feeling a lot more human today but still far from ideal. Just doing a rough calc. and I reckon I'm on about a 9,000 - 10,000 calorie deficit since Friday am (which works out at about 4kgs). Still, the weather's finally brightened up and it's been beautiful couple of days here in Ferndale with only the occasional but disconcertingly random tsunami warning siren disturbing the peace in this charming little town

Forecast is looking good for tomorrow but still not sure if I'm up to doing the Mattole, or more importantly the next 3 days after.

Will see what the morning brings.

  1. Just one thought Fraser - maybe you should try and find a bit of room in your panniers to have a couple of days worth of food as "spares" - to avoid any repeats of the strawberry milk and red liquorice fiasco of a few days ago....
    A few dehydrated camping meals and some dried fruit, or something like that?
    Hope you feel well enough to get riding soon. Looked at the route plan for the Mattole road, and it really is a monster - I'd suggest you only try going that way if you really are up for it.....
    All the best,
    Peter
